Laura’s a great fit any time you hear your employees or members say…

“I just lost half of my sales team to layoffs but still have to hit higher numbers this year.”“We are so overwhelmed with work and don’t have enough hours in the day to get everything done.”“I have 2,000 emails in my email in-box and get hundreds more every day.”“Our staff works insane hours trying to keep up with everything there is to do.”“We are so stressed out and have no life balance from working too long and hard.”

Perfect audiences…

Leaders who need to deliver bottom-line results with fewer people.

Managers who need to improve team productivity and output but can’t add staff.

Salaried employees who are working well over 40 hours a week and want greater life balance.
